What is Epica signature distressed leather?

In preserving the heritage of centuries past, it has always been our aim to do two things: maintain Italian bookbinding in its purest form and create for you an authentic product that looks like something out of the 15th Century.

In specific terms, our leather comes from a very aggressive animal; one that during the course of its life is rather rowdy and enjoys fighting. This translates to some very unique but minimal scarring and marking that stays on our leather throughout the bookbinding process. Such markings are, as you have probably heard many times, what makes each product rare and unique. Please rest assured that your product is not damaged or flawed in any way.
